The question people ask me most often about the war pigeons is, “How did they find their way back?”  Chuck’s story gives us a look into the bird world. His story is a testament to birds’ intelligence and to how well they understand us and therefore it offers some insight into why the war pigeons would risk their lives over and over again to deliver messages for their human friends.
